Thousands of ultra-Orthodox Israelis on Sunday attended the funeral of a prominent rabbi in Jerusalem, flouting the country’s ban on large public gatherings during the lockdown.
The funeral procession for Rabbi Meshulam Soloveitchik, who died at the age of 99, wound its way through the streets of Jerusalem in the latest display of ultra-Orthodox Israelis’ refusal to obey coronavirus restrictions.
The phenomenon has undermined Israel’s aggressive vaccination campaign to bring an outbreak under control and threatened to hurt Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in March elections.
Two challengers accused Mr Netanyahu of failing to enforce the law because of pressure from his ultra-Orthodox political allies.
